government by school shooters, for school shooters

"Trump will just defy court orders, what's even the point of litigating" This, this a point

Donald Trump is an anti-constitutional president, pass it on.

Section 1 of the executive order is like "in order for this to mean anything, Congress must act." The rest of it is like "X department shall convene a task force to provide a list of recommendations etc. etc." It's completely toothless and this "blocking states" headline is brain-dead stenography.

the sooner everyone in the US electorate and public service understands that there is no normal to be found or returned to here the better we all will be. the time for half measures and norms has long passed.

I vowed only to pay full price for clothing and now I'm being accused of TJ Maxx evasion.

There’s no need to treat these people as anything but the sordid rabble of crooks and grifters and subnormal bigots that they are.

Abrego Garcia is not a "proven human trafficker." He has merely been *accused by the government* of being one. That's not the same thing. And if Leavitt is so certain of these charges, why is the administration attempting to deport him to Africa to avoid trying him in a US court?

Hey Wisconsin...

This Nebrasketball team is so much fun to watch when things are clicking.

Future generations will consider Roberts in the same company as Taney. A partisan hack who through jurisprudence out the window when it served his purpose.

Amanda Seyfried when someone asks her to apologize for correctly labeling Charlie Kirk is hateful

B1G refs seem to be back on their bullshit again. #Nebrasketball

The real danger is that immigrant groups will vote in brown people, says white South African who held extraordinary political power despite zero people voting for him

blatantly a violation of both the rules on Congress solely having the power to collect taxes, duties, excises, and so forth and also that such a new collection of federal revenue must originate as a bill in the House of Representatives, Madison wrote a bunch about it, the Constitution still matters?

Every time he opens his mouth, he reminds us he's a sad little boy who's easily bribed with shiny trinkets and gold stars.

Every one of the GOP statewide officials are lawless at this point in Missouri.

Disbar the lawyers.

Bove, perhaps more than most of the recently appointed ideologues, seems to revel in giving the finger to the principle that judges ought to avoid both impropriety *and the appearance* of impropriety.

Birthright citizenship is a policy choice so central to our values and identity as a nation that we chose to amend the Constitution to protect it against the passions and prejudices of temporary majorities.

The president is increasingly erratic, forgetting promises he made just days ago and lashing out angrily at reporters for asking routine questions. Seems like the news should talk more about this

If during the Biden administration, masked feds had stormed the campus of a Christian college like Hillsdale to apprehend someone while pointing guns at students and administrators, Republicans would have filed impeachment articles immediately and taken to the streets.

it is incredible that legalizing watergate has been the overriding ideological project of the american right for fifty years

Notably there hasn't been a mass campaign to get Nuzzi fired from Vanity Fair or picketing bookstores where her shit is sold. Instead it's just people sharing what she wrote and laughing at it for being bad. They want to make criticizing elites illegal.

I'm basically a single issue voter in the next presidential primary: whichever candidate will take court reform the most seriously. You won't be able to govern without it.

Going to have so much more time available this January. What a shitshow on SNF tonight.

First move for KC: find a reliable kicker. Butker is washed (also, he's a shit human being.)

Of course, the Chiefs absolutely crumble after the call goes against them. This feels like the end of the first Mahomes era. This team needs refreshed in the worst way.

The Chiefs' war with the refs continue again this week. Questionable calls again and again against this team.

Indiana football is #1 and Nebrasketball is still undefeated. Newlyweds Brandon and Julie would be so confused by these facts.

Creighton:

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies. Either way, never trust them again.

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”

“We knew very well what we were electing” isn’t a defense of Trump’s actions. It’s an admission of your complicity.

Indiana and Duke win titles within 30 minutes of one another. Drunkest season yet.

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.

I cannot believe this happened. I am so happy for @kcjuwils.bsky.social and Scotty B from law school. Y'all deserve this.

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.

It really is the administration of King Herod the Great tweeting at Jesus family during Christmas.

The rare presidential administration whose character, efficacy and dignity would automatically increase if everyone in it was replaced with a ten year old.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy. Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality. John Roberts > Roger Taney. Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

There is no reason to be polite or decorous about this any more. The current Supreme Court is corrupt. US democracy cannot survive unless it is reformed.

California: See if you can grind out any more Dem seats. VA / NC / MD / NY: Do your part.

This is such an important point. If you want connections, you need to cultivate them. It doesn't mean you devote all your time to that practice, but you have to at least give it some attention. You "cure" the loneliness epidemic one small action at a time. You can't wait for others to do it.

As always, in a world full of sports corruption, FIFA is the worst. Just pathetic.

2/2 Sen Bill Cassidy, a liver-disease MD, complains about this ruling, as I am doing. Here's the difference: He, personally, could have prevented all the resulting casualties, by casting the swing vote against RFK Jr. That's a power the other 330+ million of us lacked. Don't let him forget it.

Thank you, Federalist Society, for giving us a bench of jurists who believe that the emanations of 1789 have a greater claim to law than the laws passed by Congress and signed by the president.

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors
